  Once the influx is circulated out, the well should be shut-in.
 Compare the Drillpipe and Casing pressure gauges and confirm
that they are equal. If Casing pressure is greater than Drillpipe
pressure then you may not have all the influx out of the well.
Once you are confident that the annulus is clean line up the pumps
